This motorcycle is in excellent mechanical condition, and rides like new. It has not been raced or abused, and all the required service was done on time. I have washed and pampered this bike regularly, and have only used the best oil and chemicals. It has been worked on only by one of the best mechanics in town, and i still travel an hour to his new shop to have the bike serviced. I bought this bike in 2004 with 5000 miles, and have used it for a few longer trips around the country, as well as occasionally commuting to school. Cosmetically, the bike is very good: there are a few signs of use here and there, but nothing major. Unlike most of the other people selling their bikes on ebay, i have actually ridden mine more than a few thousand miles, rather than just washing and pampering it on weekends, while having it hooked up to a battery tender. The tiny scratches and similar signs of wear are unavoidable (and documented in the pictures), and very minor. This bike has never been dropped (not even in my driveway.) or crashed in any way.
